The Austrian Observer to the Bth of February, .received this day, contains some important infor mation from Greece, and which seems calm. Inted to change the relations hitherto existing between the Porte and other European na tions, as far as Greece is concerned. Further successes on the part of I/MAUD! PACJIA, and the momentarily expected fall of Missolonghi, are t he facts now communicated, and if this latter expectation should prove to be well founded, i t will he seen that the chief object of the mis i°4 of the Duke of WELLINGTON is well nigh settled before he has reached the Russian capital. in the state of uncertainty in which we at pre sent are on these points, it would be premature to enter into speculations as to the probable policy of Russia, Austria, and England, in the event of the Turkish arms triumphing over Greece. We must wait the arrival of the expected news, and perhaps with it may come, something which may tend to elucidate the views entertained by these Governments on this momentous question, when so entirely altered in its aspect and bearings. The following are extracts : CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 10*. On the 26th December the Porte was inforined"by several Tartars, dispatched by the Captain Pacha from the camp before Missolonslit, of great advantages, both by sea and land, gained over the insurgents near Salons. A division of the Egyptian fleet, in which Ibrahim, Paella himself had embarked with a small corps of regular troops, sailed under the command of Moharreon .Bey from Patras to the Gulf of Lepanto, and had taken or destroyed in the Bay of Salons 27 Greek mistics, and several small armed vessels and transports. Ibrahim Pacha landed his troops, attacked the Greeks (supposed to be under the command of Goura) at Scala di Salona, who, after a sanguinary combat, were obliged to fall back towards Athens. The object of the expedition, on which large quantities of provisions were captured, having been accotn. plashed, Ibrahim returned to Patras. The capture of 6(10,000 piastres, destined for Missolonghi, which sum was taken by a detachment of the troops of Redschid Paella, who had notice of its being on the way, will have great influence on the fate of Missolonghi, which since the beginning of D ece mb er h as b een blockaded by sea by the Capitan Pacha, 'on the north-west side by Re&chid, and on the east by a corps landed by Ibrahim, and the Porte confidently expects its surrender. The report of the taking of the fort of Walsiladi is not confirmed. In other parts of the theatte of war nothing important has lately happened. The Ipsariots and Spezziots are still at va riance with the Bydriots, and the latter had almost entirely re nounced their obedience to the Government at Napoli. Great exertions are making in the Arsenal to fit out a new squadron of four 2-deckers, three frigates, and ten corvettes, and brigs. Ibrahim Paella of Braila is daily expected here to take the command of the troops to be embarked in this squadron. Coartf, .J,u. A. On the oth . of this month . the Imperial Consulate here received, by means of the Austrian brig ,Veloce, in ten days from Smyrna, the first news of the melancholy death of the Emperor Alexander, the Captain immediately communicated the news to Gener a l Adams, who was not he. fore acquainted with it. The public first learned it on the flth from a Naples journal. [The Austrian Observer adds a note, again attacking the French .Journals for their forged letters from !ante. It attri butes the letters in the Journal des Debra: to M. Ponqueville, and declares, that notice is to be found in the authentic ac counts of the unsuccessful attacks on Missolonghi on the 27th December, as stated in an article from Zante, 2d January, in the Journal des Debais, or of a preceding account of an expe dition of Ibrahim to Corinth.l—( Austrian Observer, Feb. O.) The heavy fall of snow, and the overflowing of several rivers have retarded for a few days th e p ost f rom Constan tinople. Files of the Diario Fluminense to the 24th De cember reached town this morning. Their contents, as usual, are perfectly without interest, except in deed a little bit of gasconading on the part of Ithe Brazilian troops, about to march against the forces of the La Plata provinces. We are the more surprised at this, as on the eve of a war we may naturally expect a little more news than usual from the capital of one of the belligerents. We subjoin a few extracts : • • Ero DE JANEIDO, DEC. 10. The ceremony of the baptism of the infant Prince was per formed with great pomp. His Imperial Highness received the name of Don Pedro de Alcantaro, Joao, Carlos, Leopoldo, Sal. vador, Bibiano. Francisco, Havier de Paula, Leocadio, Miguel, Gabriel, Rafael Gonzaga. DEC. 10.—The Diario of this date contains the Decree of the Emperor, declaring war against the Government of the Provinces of Rio de la Plata dated 10th Dec. DEC. 20.—Contains the declaration of the blockade of the Ports of the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata. DEC. 21.—The Diario contains an extremely long history of the proceedings of the Court of Brazil, with respect to the United Provines of Rio de la Plata, and of the reasons which obliged it to declare war against that Government. It is dated Dec. 10. The same paper contains a new official article, which says-- " Letters have been received here from Rio Grande, written by respectable persons, which, referring to accounts from h. gocrao, of Nov. 29, say, that the brave Lieut.. Col. Bento Gonzalves having assembled in the Pass° de Cabocla his forces, amounting to 000 men, attacked Fructuora fibers, In his camp, where he bad 2;000 men ; and after an obstinate en. gagement, Riber4 was defeated with the loss of 600 prisoners and :317 killed, 2,700, and two pieces of cannon taken ; our loss was 97 of our brave soldiers who justly deserve that name ; for Bento Gonzalves having observed, that the attempt was arduous, as the enemy had 2,000 men, and he only 800. his troops answ ere d, eac h of us has to kill thr ee,' and we shall have still some men over. The valour of the inhabitants of Rio do Grande is well known, and the Spaniards h a ve often ex. perienced it, if t h ey have thought that the revolutionary spirit had infected their loyal hearts, experience will skew them their mistake. The same spirit and valour that animated the troops of Gonzalves inspires all honourable Brazilians, the friends of their Monarch and their country, they know the jus. tice of the cause which they defend, and do not fear Spanish bravados."—(Diario Fluntincse, to 24th Dec. inclusive. ) The following are extracts from the Brussels Oracle received this day : .Brurssxr.s, FEB. 15 It is thought that the Session of the States General will be closed between the 10th and 115th of next month. It is affirmed that Lord Cochrane, who is still in this city, will not set out for Greece till the Greek Committees, in Europe can give him three frigates. A.

This will be recorded as one of the most event ful days within recollection, as regards the sod den and remarkable fluctuation, from depression, to an eagerness for getting into stock, certainly without precedent. Consols closed on Saturday 76/ I, and after the close, they were done at 76 r 7 , 77. This morning they opened at that price, but with a general ferment in the Market, that drove them with unexampled rapidity to 79,x. A Hebrew broker began with a lot of 150,0004.abd con tinued buying, straight for Ward, until Sellers for account were quite , exhausted. He then went in for Money Stock, of which lie made con siderable purchases. During the heat of these operations, the price differed from to i in dif ferent parts of the house, which was so crowded, that it may be said to have formed a general mob, in full activity and uproar. Before half past twelve, Consols were done at 79i for account ; from that puint they dropped to 781 — then mounted again to 79q—and at one o'clock stood 79 to 79i. Whatever be the true cause of this sudden rise—very many Members of the House will infallibly be involved in utter ruin, of which the settlement on the 28th will givo abundant proof. It was rumoured early in the day, that some thing wrong ;vas suspected, with a house that had become heavy Bears—and this it is supposed stimulated the Hebrews to make an united effort to punish the Bears, by driving up Consols. Others report, that a deceased eminent operator_ stood a Bull to an immense amount at 80, and that to save the different Brokers left by him la the lurch, •Consols were forced up by a com bination. So sudden was the rise, that no time was afforded for changing an account, and thus the Bears will be completely caught. Consols have been per Gent. higher for money than for time. 3 per Cent.

The operation in Exchequer Bills has con tributed essentially to the success of the ma noeuvre now played off. by the Bulls—who exchanging their Bills for Bank notes, hays been enabled to get into consols, which it becomes their interest to force up. That the advance can be permanent, must, how ever be considered questionable— for the distress of the Country still continues to in crease. If, as is supposed by some, the public are now buyers, it is evident that there must. be a still further substraction from the re sources to which individuals ;night resort for relief. The Country Bankers generally, are contract. ing their circulation of small notes, for which one and two pound Bank of England,are expected to be übstituted The fate of this renovated dissemina tion of Bank Paper may be readily anticipated— that they will flow back upon the Bank for Gold, as fast as they accumulate in the till of the Country Banker. It were surely beyond reasonable expectation that the Country Banker, whose one and two pound notes have been ex tinguished, will encourage the circulation of Bank paper as a substitute. Admitting this view •of the subject to be correct, k may be assumed,that the circulation of Country Bankers' small notes' being extinguished, their place can be supplied-- only by a metallic currency. The question then is, has tha Bank a sufficient stock of gold to meet the demand which will in.; fallibly be made for sovereigns ? FOREIGN. Attention has been 3 0 entirely absorbed by the specul a ti on j CoololPl that there have been very few t r ansactions in this market, and with but s light var iation froth Saturday's prices. 1 PAST Since one o'clock, there has been less business, and the Market has receded.

WINDsou, FEB. 19.—His MAJESTY this morning, accom panied by - his suite, attended Divine Service at the New Private Chapel, which was performed by his domestic Chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Sumner. His Majesty was prevented taking his air ing on Friday and yesterday, the weather being so very un- favourable. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta heard Divine Service performed at her residence, Froginure Lodge. THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S MISSION TO ST. PETERSBURGH. It is is very currently reiiortCil that ti; King has selected the Duke of Devonshire to represent him at the Coronation of the F:mperor Nicholas at the Court of Russia. During a recent period, when tho Grand Duke Nicholas resided in London, this Prince was the intimate of Devonshire House, where the entertainments given on the occasion wore on a scale of the greatest magnificence and splendour. This visit cemented a warm friendship between the Emperor and the Duke, which originated whilst his Grace was in St. Petershurgh. His Ma.. jefity has shewn his usual discrimination in appointing the Duke of Devonshire to this distinguished honour. His Grace will be attended by the flower of the English Nobility, without any respect to party. The retinue, in point of magniticence, extent, taste and splendour, will, it is said, very far exceed the recent display at Paris, and the Coronation at Rheims. ARRIVALS IN TOWN. Sir Robert Arbuthnot, Bart. ; Mr. W. S. Poyntz, M.P. Alrs. and the Aliases Poyntz, from Cowdray Lodge; Mr. J. Wells, M.P. from Maley, near Bromley; Colonel and Mrs. Graham; Lady Campbell. DEPARTURES -FROM TOWN. Sir Lawrence Palk, Bart. for flahien Hall. near Exeter ; Major Ormsby Gore, on a tour; Colonel Wyndhatn, for Pet worth.. Prince Leopold arrived in town on Saturday from Clare mont. His Royal Highness honoured the Italian Opera House with his presence in the evening. The Martinis and Marchioness of Hastings and their four daughters, have now been eight days detained on board the Herald yacht, by strong South-west winds. The Herald has Made two attempts to get doWn. Channel but was compelled to return to the anchorage, at Spithead. The Hon. Mrs. Hope had a Card Party on Friday evening, in Duchess -street, when the Great Egyptian Hall, and. the Sa loon, were illuminated. Lord Melville, Baron Falck, Sir Charles Coote, and the Ho. noarable Agar Ellis, gave Grand Dinners in the preceding week. SPORTING. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. MEETINGS OF 1101IN'IIS IN THE PRESENT WEEK. The Hampshire hounds, on Tuesday, at Tiehborne Park ; Thursday, at Chilton Old House; SaturdaY, at Phoenix Lodge. • The Hambledon Hounds, on Wedneldayi at Hill.,place, near Droxford ; Friday, at Fair Oak House. The Earl of Darlington's Fox Hounds, on Wednesday, at Niihitworth ; Saturday, at Caldwell. The Lambton Fox Hounds, on Tuesday, at Fishbarn; Thursday, at Pre.ston ; Saturday, at Embleton.

ROYAL FI UNT.—His Majesty's Stag Hounds on Friday had a gall Sat run for an hour and a quarter; a very numerous field of sportsmen met at the Magpies, Hounslow Heath, but from the severe running, few were able to be in at the taking at Ruislip. 'IIIE Tire ITALIAN OPLRA.—The beautiful Opera of the Crociato, was again performed on Satur. day by special desire. The house was attended by a fashionable audience, but the pit was not so crowded as upon other nights of the season.— Vet.utru and BONI NI sang finely, and the whole went off with great applause. COVENT•G ARDEN. OH Saturday night Dr. ARNE'S serious Opera of Artaxerxes was perform. ed to a most numerous assemblage. Indeed the splendid talents of BR All A 11, PHILLIPS, and Miss PATON, ensure success. The former was in bril. liant voice, and gave the greatest effect to all the music. We cannot avoid particularly noticing, "Amid a thonsand rackingfears." It was a master. piece,and his introduction from Tarrare was given with his usual force, and those peculiar features of power and delicacy which mark this per former's efforts. PHI LLIPS was warmly up. pleaded in " Thy Father, away!" and threw a great deal more energy into the part than on the former evening—to adopt the proverb, " a little practice will make perfect." Since the clays of the RI LLTNGTON, there has not been a finer vocal performance than that of Miss PATON'S Mandane. The dignity of her voice and grandeur of her style are admirably suited to this taus! Amongst her happiest efforts may be mentiM, " Fly, soft ideas," given in her best style—more cannot be said—and " The Soldier ingave the requisite energy without forcing whichforcit)g she lter voice into harshness. They were both rapturously applauded, and nothing but the feeling of the audience for the singer would have prevented their repetition being de manded. Madame VESTRIS was encored in the beautiful air of " In infancy." L. A. GOLDSCMIDT, ESQ.—The failure of the eminent house of Messrs. B. A. GOLDSCIIMIDT and Co. has brought on another calamity in the death of Mr. L. A. Gor.oscnwor, the principal partner, whose spirits had for some ,time past been deeply affected through that event, and who sank under the misfortune on Saturday evening. alis medical attendants were Dr. Lathats,and Mr. Andrews, of St. Helen's-place, who pronounced the immediate cause of his death to be apoplexy, but those who had closer means of observation declare the real cause Co be a broken heart. After filling for so long a period a very high rank in the commercial world, he could not summon fortitude enough •to hear up against the loss of reputation. lie was attacked with indisposition,' and took to his bed on the day when the house suspended payments and rose from it no more. Had he possessed greater self-command on the trying occasion, the blow might, it is supposed, have been averted ; but his difficulties were not revealed until it was too late to tender that assist ance which his friends were prepared to offer.-- Support of this nature his own former acts of kindness in assisting others would have assured him, for no man could be m ore liberal than he was where the object was to assist a friend who had fallen into em barrassment. Mr. Goldschtuidt was 49 year s o f age. Nis death took place at the house of his in Park-crescent. It is not intended, we learn, that any Coroner's Inquest shall be held, Dr. Latham having given it as his opinion that no circumstances connected with the event had occurred to render such a proceeding nec cs _ sa ry Times) E van s, who stands charged with the murder of Mr. Price, of Manchester, was conveyed to Lancaster Castle on Wednesday, whither he is committed for trial at the approaching Assizes, OLD BAILEY—(Tuto DA.x.) THE LATE EXTENSIVE FORGERIES ON TIM BANK OF ENGLAND. ARIIAIGNMENT AND DISCIIANGE OPKIGAUD,ISSETT, MEEK, AND BAKER. At ten o'clock this morning the Learned Judges took their seats on the bench,. when Issett, Itigaud, atul Meek were put to the bar to plead to the four remaining indictments against them. The Counsel for the prosecutio►► immediately rose and said, on tl►e part of the Bank of Eng. laud, he was instructed to say, that after what butt already taken place, the Corporation felt it unnecessary to go farther against the prisoners, and he therefore should not offer any evidence against them.—The prisoners were accordingly discharged.
